*.qrc files converted to C++ sources could make use of Qt headers, and
in practice for qt4 they seem to. Since this is Qt code to begin with,
it makes sense to depend on the Qt being targeted regardless of version.
We need to run it as an external command at build time anyway, and we
detect it by looking it up as an ExternalProgram. It seems odd to then
import it into Meson's python interpreter and run the main function.
Moreover, this errors out when you are running two different pythons,
one for Meson and one for hotdoc. For example, when hotdoc is installed
normally, but you're testing Meson against a nondefault newer version of
python.
We have divergent implementations of loading a pickled *.dat file. The
Build class loader has a better error message. But the generic loader
handles TypeError and ModuleNotFoundError. Merge the implementations,
and use it for Build as well.

Since commit 1420d0dace we use coredata's
cmd_line.txt handler to get the right setup arguments. But there's a bug
in that -- it mishandles cross/native files, producing invalid
descriptions of the command line. The only other place this was used,
though, is when generating meson-log.txt.
Fix it to produce correctly formatted arguments.
Fixes#10980
The coverage report was always the final section of the main test run.
This made it hard to scroll around and find exactly what went wrong --
particularly as not everyone realizes that coverage isn't part of the
test run, but also because the output from coverage is... excessively
long.
This mirrors what we do in our other workflows.
The system linkers don't support this particular GNU extension on
these OS'es, so don't build them there.
Based on an OpenIndiana patch created by @alarcher. Closes#9882.
In a couple of python module tests, we try to test things that rely on
the default python being the same one we look up in the python module.
This is unsolvable for the deprecated python3 module, as it actually
uses the in-process version of python for everything. For the python
module, we could actually look up the default system python instead of
the one we are running with, but then we wouldn't be testing the
functionality of that alternative python... and also the install
manifest tests would see files installed for the wrong version of
python, and report a combination of missing+extra files...
Solve both tests by just skipping the parts we cannot check.
- qt5 -> qt6
- remove version information from when the Qt6 module was not a thing
- linked to dependency function
- highlight version information with *...* and placing it at the front of options or on new lines in text
- reformatted for shorter lines
Fixes:
- Incorrect, redundant, or overabundant usage of "just"
- Missing punctuation
- Missing "the"
- Parenthesized text far from what it describes
There are some subjective changes, I hope those aren't controversial.
We consistently use the "dependencies" kwarg to refer to C-like
CFLAGS/LDFLAGS interfaces. And for hotdoc, we actually accept libraries
for this as well, as we may want to document their (generated?) sources,
so we want their CFLAGS too.
But we also accepted custom targets and just added a build order
dependency on these, which was odd and typically we call that "depends".
Let's deprecate this in favor of the depends kwarg.
Internally we pass this as extra_depends to the CustomTarget
initializer, so it makes sense to call it that rather than confusing the
topic by referring to "dependencies", a term that indicates
CFLAGS/LDFLAGS interfaces.
We would like to use the default value (the one python urged us not to
use), but without getting a warning for it. Luckily, we have the correct
value already, so we can pass it manually to avoid the complaint.
python 3.11 adds a warning that in 3.15, UTF-8 mode will be default.
This is fantastic news, we'd love that. Less fantastic: this warning is
silly, we *want* these checks to be affected. Plus, the recommended
alternative API would (in addition to warning people when UTF-8 mode
removed the problem) also require using a minimum python version of 3.11
(in which the warning was added) or add verbose if/else soup.
The simple, and obvious, approach is to add a warnings filter to hide
it.
It is, after all, "safe". ;) That's why it exists. There's no reason to
think listing all pkg-config entries cannot print unicode descriptions,
it's absolutely possible, and we should handle it properly if we
encounter it.
It was only trying to guess install tag, and log missing tags, for files
installed by install_data(). Do it also for all other files, especially
custom_taget() that commonly installs generated headers.
